What leasing company did you ship with, and what was the port of export?

Thanks for the youtube. I had no idea that you could do that at home with such results, all by hand. I assumed you'd screw up the angle. Nice.

What does a more acute angle vs a more larger angle do for a knife?

the greater the angle the greater the durability of the edge, but the trade off is a less sharp edge. With the greater angle you have more metal near the cutting edge supporting it so it is more durable but in doing so its not as fine, or thin at the acctual cutting surface. A really large angle 25* plus is good for a survival utility knife that your are going to chopping with, or use on things you would not really want to use a knife on like digging for something in the ground, or cutting wire, things like that. Not a bad edge for a general pocket knife that your not going to maitain much and dont want to hesitate to use it in ANY situation ( I normally have 2 knives on me a good one and one for abuse)

A fine edge will be much "sharper" and cut things better but will not take much abuse, lightly pull the edge over something hard (a plate) while cutting a steak and you can a lot of the time see where you will have rolled your edge over and see a "flat spot" where you did that, when you look at the edge straight on. This is where the old saying a dull knife is a dangerous knife comes in, and why I dont really like a bevel over 20* on most daily use blades as it takes more force to do a job due the geometry of the angle on the blade.

If you have ever cut your self with a large angle knife you can feel the edge more ripping and tearing, it feels kind of rough as it does its work along your thumb, even if its been recently sharpened. A good kitchen knife or razor blade on the other hand (with a bevel down around 12-15*) you might not even notice you have cut your self for a bit, or you will just feel that burring sensation with out as much of ripping and tearing and it will just glide and slice your thumb all to hell. I nearly took off the end of my pointer finger just behind the nail with a dressing knife while dressing out a deer as a kid, didnt even feel it, till I was nearly done, could not figure out where all the blood kept coming from on my left hand after I would clean them off.

This is just the very basic of it, with out getting into stropping, compound bevels, honing, blade geometry, Hollow grinds, Alloy of the steel that the blade or edge is made up of ect. You really want to confuse your self look up the convex grind. I have yet to try it out, but it seems like a very good way to combine the best of both worlds and a fairly easy edge to maintain for a guy with out lots of time or equipment.

I can't be more happy

you lucky bitch. I've been saving for the year to get an sn95. I would love to get my hands on a terminator but I can't resist the exterior of the sn95. The interior of the terminator, though, is 10x's better.

Red46 plate? I've been meaning to get a stud kit for the longest time, my Mini came with one and it made things so easy.

Yep, Red46 plate. I smashed my oil pan the day I got low. I really didn't have a choice.

I'm hoping studs make it easy. I hate not having them.

I love the sn95, this was my first cobra, but my father had an accident on it, just material losses...

Damn that sucks. This was my cobra. I bought it when I was 19 after crashing my Tiburon. And no, mommy and daddy did not help lol. The '98 cobra was always my favorite car since I was 12 and I was overly ecstatic when I found it.
1998 cobra pearl white, black leather interior, flowmaster 40's, steeda tri-ax shifter, eibach lower springs, y2k chrome 18's.
Yes this is the actual odo after I drove it 300 miles form Michigan back to my home in Indiana.







I ended up having to sell it to fund my move to Arizona. It had the y2k hood on it which made the front in look like a f*cking beast.
Not mine but an example of the hood.
